ENHANCED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON...

LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS, GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AND DRYING FINE FUELS WILL CREATE AN ELEVATED RISK FOR THE SPREAD OF WILDFIRES THIS AFTERNOON. NO RAIN IS EXPECTED INTO THURSDAY, SO THE ENHANCED RISK WILL ALSO EXIST ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK VEHICLES IN GRASSY AREAS AND ENSURE PROPER DISPOSAL OF ANY SMOKING MATERIALS. IT ONLY TAKES ONE IMPROPERLY DISPOSED CIGARETTE TO IGNITE A FIRE. IF YOU SPOT A FIRE, PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WILDFIRE DANGER, BURN RESTRICTIONS, AND WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND EDUCATION, PLEASE VISIT YOUR STATE FORESTRY OR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WEBSITE.
